    ? Increase effectiveness of electric heat pumps?

    Any suggestions for increasing effectiveness of electric heat pump? We decided to swim last week (first time in new pool). Turned on heater and set to 85.F. 5 days later, still couldn't get past 77 degrees. Daytime temps were mid 70's and night time temps low 60's. We had a gas heater in our...

    Another newbie question

    That's a good idea. I would like to maintain a good working relationship with this builder but I feel the need to raise the 'bs' flag on this mandate. I will check with Hayward and then have a frank discussion with pb. Was just reading older posts on TFP re this product and not surprised to...

    Another newbie question

    Today, pool builder rep met me to review operation of pool. Interestingly, I was told our 3 year warranty on equipment will be void if we FAIL to use 'Renewal' every other week. We are also required to have our water tested at pool store every 3 months. I didn't make an issue with the rep...

    Please advise re: pertinent questions for Pool builder of new vinyl pool

    Apologize in advance for lengthy post. So....our pool was built right after Thanksgiving. However, because of extreme, persistent rains and wet ground, our electrician (contracted through pool company) completed wiring last week so we finally have a completed pool. However, PB has been missing...

    Recommendation on SWG

    Not understanding why you see NO value in SWG. We had a Salt water pool in MN and appreciated the simplicity of maintaining the clear water without algae. We attributed it to our SWG. Just moved to south GA and new pool build happened this week. Currently working to remove iron (fire hydrant...

    New construction glitch - please advise

    Update: Pool company owner arrived this afternoon with entire crew. I showed him the bow in the wall. He acknowledged the bow and speculated the back-filled dirt was too heavy for the fresh cement inside the pool. He assured me he would make it right. He seemed genuine. His crew dug out all...
